Customer Reviews

Worth every dollar
I've kept this little baby in my back pocket for two weeks in Peru and it has been invaluable. Simple phrases have allowed me to catch the local buses, order food etc. and generally come across as not a complete gringo.

Perfect size for travel
I bought this for an upcoming trip to South America. It seems like it will serve its purpose, size is just right. But since I don't know any Spanish, I'm not sure about accuracy although the choices of words and phrases seems appropriate.

Very Good Phrasebook
This is not a Latin American Spanish course or a full dictionary as some seem to think it should be. It contains many useful words and phrases that are helpful for travellers and for those taking a comprehensive language course and want to be able to speak the language quickly. I found it quite helpful.
